Our Backyard – Anglesea

Welcome to Anglesea

It’s Grand Final week! Saturday is the biggest day of the week for property but not this weekend, Saturday 27th September is the day that stops the Victorian Real Estate market!

So whilst most people are watching the game, we are also shutting up shop at lunchtime to do the same. Everyone is talking about AFL football and that includes us. Apparently all residents on the coast barrack for Geelong……not me, I’m a Tigers girl and have been chatting to our team in Anglesea, amazing what you find out! Ian Lewtas has legendary status for playing for Geelong in his day; I was brought up being the daughter of Richmond footballer and coach, Col Saddington. So as it turns out in 1973 Ian played in the Grand Final reserves match at the MCG, the very same game my father coached the Tigers to a win! Neither of our teams are there this year, so looks like we are barracking for Hawthorn as it turns into ‘Melbourne’ vs ‘Sydney’. Of course we are the most liveable city and have the best coastline in Australia, so we win anyway!

Moving on from footy, its school holidays and the weather is a mixed bag coming up, so when it’s not sunny and you’re not on the beach, what are you planning to do? Looking at property is a great thing to do on both sunny and grey days; however there are plenty of other things to do. The park, playground, walks, hire a boat on the river, skate ramp, fishing, games, surfing, boogie boarding movies, painting and drawing. Put the iPad & phones away. We are looking for a budding artist this week to draw or paint a picture of your favourite beach. Drop your art work into the office by Wednesday and the best one gets featured in our front window for the week and you win $100 to go towards your holiday on the coast! Pop your name and contact number on the back and we will be in touch with the winner.
